"100 Scariest..."

Channel 4 last night and carrying on tonight in a run-down of the 100 scariest moments of tv/movies. I missed it last night but will be watching tonight no doubt.

So what do you think will be the top few scary moments voted for by the public?

I would think that the final scene from 'Blair Witch Project' where the guy is standing in the corner of the basement and both of the people get killed would be in the top couple, if not number one.

The Psycho shower scene is bound to be in the top few I think

The excorcist scene where she turns her head around will be there, despite it not been scary now, it was scary at the time (70/80's or whenever it was made)

Personally I think the scariest movie moment is from "The Ring" where the girl crawls out from the TV or where it flashes a glimpse of her dead in the closet.

I do not find serial killer 'horrors' scary, I much prefer a good old supernatural scare.

So what are your top few scariest moments in movies or tv?

I saw the clip of it last night. I didn't know at the time of watching it that it was fake. They never said when it was shown first. It was in the papers the day after I think that it was a set-up.

I was 10 at the time. I didn't know it was out on DVD. I'd definitely get it. It was really good. Couldn't remember what it was called 'til last night. The name completely evaded me.

When you watched it did you know it was fake or think it was real? Was it convincing?

I remember that. Would have been about 12 at the time - Scared the crap out of me too! Been thinking of picking it up on DVD

Yeh, did you see the clip of it last night?

Did anyone else remember that "Ghostwatch" programme. That was a blast from the past. I remember watching it in '92 and it scared the crap out of me at the time. Brilliant programme. Best Halloween programme thats ever been on TV in my opinion.

Same here.

Yeah - The only scene's I found good - were the ending 'house' sequence.

There was only one bit in the blair witch project that i found chilling. The bit at the end where you see the guy facing the corner of the room.

The original Ring isn't scary. Its slow moving, the plot jumps around and I would much rather pop in Night of the Living Dead, Evil Dead, Texas Chainsaw Massacre or Halloween in the DVD player and at least get some enjoyment. The new version was possibly the best Hollywood transfre from an old film that I have seen. Still didn't enjoy it but it kept the roots of the film and didn't ellaborate too much on the original story.
